My first 10km+ out on the road and it felt good. the last km even speeded up a lot and pushed everything out the last 200m. the weather was beautiful today, it was like the first spring day in my region of Belgium, sunny with a little breeze and i think about 14 to 15°C, i loved it to run outdoors. spring weather is the best i don't know if i will be running @ the gym again because the policy is changed somewhat concerning the period of time you 'occupy' a machine. the owner put up several papers that say that you can only use a machine for 20 minutes (30 minutes when it's not busy hour). so it's not good when i'm training and running more than 5km..so i think that's done for now. but with the better weather and spring season that's coming i think i will have enough fun in the open air. definetely!
